Feature Request: Force video quality

[NightMean]

I've noticed that sometimes Nebula uses 360p quality instead of 1080p even though my internet connection is capable of streaming it.
Would it be possible to add a an option where we would be able to choose which quality should Nebula always use?
E.g. Always prefer highest quality, 4K, 1440p, 1080p..

I can look into this next week, should be possible

I've invested some time into this issue now, unfortunately it seems it isn't as easy as I thought, as video quality isn't native to the browser, but instead provided by a library (hls.js), and I do not have any handle on this. Extracting the data from the interface is also difficult, as it's simply not rendered if the menu isn't open...

For now, I wouldn't expect too much, but I'll continue to experiment when I have time.

Thanks a lot for trying!

Curious if any new technology has made this easier since 2023... any possibility we can look into this again? If not, understood.

I will look into it, but from what I know, since their move to host videos on their own (not zype like before), they've been using the same player, so I don't expect much to have changed.

So, I learned some things on how to extract data from React elements some time ago, and managed to get a reference to the internal player controller, so this should be possible to implement.

@NightMean @Sedmo54 How exactly do you imagine this? I see several possible (user-setable) options:

• Force highest quality at all times
• Force lowest quality at all times
• Set a preferred quality, if not available choose next higher
• Set a preferred quality, if not available choose next lower

That's good, I can't think of anything different than the options you have.

Hello. I am still having issues with this, I know it is marked as "Complete" but it keeps happening; where can I find the setting to force quality? Thanks!

Open the extension settings and find the section named "Auto Video Quality", configure as you like. If something isn't working, open a new issue and describe what you did, what is happening, and what you think should be happening.
